Consequently, the number of inbound and outbound passengers declined. There were ports that used to cater to more than 100,000 passengers like the BREDCO port in Negros Occidental, where passenger arrival declined by more than 50 percent in March 2020. The Panay/Guimaras area, which includes the Iloilo River Wharf and the Dumangas Port showed decreases in inbound and outbound passengers by over 50 percent and about 40 percent, respectively.
However, Fort San Pedro showed an increase of inbound passengers in March 2020, more than double compared with March 2019 at about 124 percent. On the other hand, outbound passengers slightly declined by 8.26 percent in March 2020 indicating that more passengers were going back to Western Visayas prior to the imposition of ECQ in Metro Manila.
